Dear Ruben,
We have installed several Billion 5100 4-port modems for clients (Mac &
PC) and they seem to work quite well. They seem to be lacking a couple
of very advanced functions that the Netgears have, but you won't be
using them anyway (mainly functions used for large companies).
They are also quite easy to program up, just like most other routers
which have a graphical interface through a web browser. A feature which
is particularly helpful is that they have a diagnostics test panel
which will run through four checks on the line from which your chosen
ISP can advise where the problem is, and hopefully resolve the matter
over the phone.
Kind Regards
Stuart
PS We do the billion for $99.00 with any of our ADSL plans including
our 256/64 Unlimited for $69.95 per month (and July reduced install -
$119)

I'm going to be upgrading to ADSL soon and have been doing a bit of

I'm only looking at a low end account for a single G4-400 Mac. So far
the Billion 5100 modem seems like the go for this. It's very
affordable and has had nothing but good comments on the forums from
what I could tell.
Just in case though I thought I'd check with people here to see what
their experiences have been like.
Thanks
